-----------------------------------------
Summary: Standardize help message for required parameter of $ yarn
logs
Key: YARN-1080
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-1080
Project: Hadoop YARN
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: client
Reporter: Tassapol Athiapinya
Fix For: 2.1.0-beta
YARN CLI has a command "logs" ($ yarn logs). The command always requires a
parameter of "-applicationId <arg>". However, help message of the command does
not make it clear. It lists -applicationId as optional parameter. If I don't
set it, YARN CLI will complain this is missing. It is better to use standard
required notation used in other Linux command for help message. Any user
familiar to the command can understand that this parameter is needed more
easily.
